Dublin St Patrick's Day parade

Tuesday 17th March 2009 will be a day of all things green and Irish as Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world.

In Dublin the St. Patrick's Festival 2009 will run from Thursday 12th – Tuesday 17th March 2009 . The festival culminates in a parade on St Patrick's Day.
The festival offers visitors a variety of events including, music, street theatre, family carnivals, comedy, street performances, dance, a treasure hunt and night spectacles. During the event 4000 performers and 1 million people will be celebrating all things Irish.

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated world-wide by Irish people, especially in Ireland and the USA. Celebrations revolve around all things green and Irish: eating Irish food, drinking Guinness, wearing green, attending parades and generally having a good time.

On St Paddy's day, the largest parade is held in New York and is enjoyed by around 2 million spectators. The first New York parade took place in 1766 when Irish soldiers marched through the city.
